This is really helpful, thank you! I’m considering a mid-life career change back to my first love, which is languages. One idea that you didn’t mention, which would fascinate me, is a Dialect Coach.
Hi Simon, interesting, haven’t heard of a Dialect Coach. What would this entail exactly?
@Freelanceverse – Adrian Probst a dialect coach works with actors so that they sound convincing in a particular language, accent or dialect.
I see, that would be very interesting. No idea how to get into that though, but I’m sure there’s info ou there online.
Did you end up changing careers? If so, what were you working as?
Thanks for these videos. I will watch them. I majored in French and am also fluent in Spanish. I’m am currently teaching myself 3 more languages. What type of work do you translate?
Nice, Michelle, thanks for the comment! I mostly work on IT and sports related texts.
As someone who is a polyglot who has just graduated, this is very helpful. I think I’m going to go the translation and interpretation route but I’m not sure. All I know is that I want to use my langages within a field or an industry that I like (hopefully international politics as I studied that as part of my degree). I’m willing to research all these options though!
Brilliant, thanks for the comment 🙂
Thank you! I was starting to feel hopeless lately, I really didn’t know how many possibilities there are with a language degree!
They are endless! 🙂
Thanks so much for this! I will share it with my peers. I’ve been having a rough time thinking about the future, I only know I wanna work with people, do you think the UN could be a good option for students with foreign languages degree?
I am a little old for learning languages and I’m finally getting out of the military and looking for a new start. Turns out even though I passed the programs and did the job for years I’m not suited to engineering jobs and they make me miserable. I’ve been obsessed with language/linguistics since I was a kid so your video is super. I’m finding that it’s really hard for me to learn languages now but it’s one of the only things I can maintain interest in. I just don’t even know what I’m studying them for yet or what I’m going to do with them yet, but your video is super helpful because it gives me a place to start. I was afraid of going to school for linguistics because it seemed like there might be limited opportunity but I definitely feel better about it after listening to you. Great video, I’m honestly surprised your channel hasn’t gotten that much attention yet
Thanks so much for the feedback, Katherine! It’s definitely never too late for learning new languages 🙂 Glad the content is useful to you.
Just do it. Dont let fear get the better of you. So what if you’re older, you can have more discipline and focus than younger people do. So what if you feel inadequate, being determined and inspired by learning something you love gets you farther than doing something that you detest. You can definitely do it. You’re not a failure for discovering something that seems too late. Its not too late, its that you recognize the diligence, patience and responsibility you need to become this new ‘you’ with a skill that seems overwhelming. If anything you know the steps and how to get there, take in the practice required to gain more confidence. Its easy to feel stupid at the beginning of something, but that is not stupidity, its acknowledgement that if you’re going to be good at something, you’re going to have to work your butt off and whether its worth it or not depends on your attitude.

This is one of the best resources I’ve ever encountered about my degree and career prospects. Thank you so much! You also have a really calming voice which make your videos really relaxing to watch 🙂
Thank you so much Sharleen ♥️
Your videos are so helpful, thank you!!
♥️
Thank you for this video!!! I love linguistics but I’ve been having a hard time figuring out the right career for me, so this was super helpful!
You got this!
thank you so much for this video! subscribed so fast! i am almost done with a college degree that i honestly do not enjoy which is international business management, but my real passion is language learning and your channel helped me get motivated to persue my dream career path as soon as i graduate!
Awesome!! Welcome to the channel 🙂
I’m currently studying a French and Spanish degree to C1, I’m already fluent in two other languages which are English (native) and Portuguese, I want to be a private language teacher/tutor but my only concern is if I may struggle more finding students if I’m not a native speaker in both :/
Hi there, it depends where you teach. As long as you don’t teach in the country where the language is native to, you will be fine teaching foreign languages as well 🙂
Pelo contrario, já que você já é fluente em português e nativa em inglês vc pode ser professora tranquilamente, inclusive as pessoas preferem professores nativos, q são mais raros.
Thank you for this video! I knew that I wanted to invest my life in languages but as an introvert struggled with the idea of being a teacher in another country (that’s the most common route I’ve seen people follow). You’ve provided a list of jobs that allow us to work independently with our target language.
Amazing, good luck on your journey!
Omg! Same here!! I’m an introvert and don’t really want to be a teacher…
I normally don’t comment on videos but I just gotta say thank you. Once I graduated I had no idea what to do but I still wanted to continue my Japanese studies from high school. However, a lot of my relatives always said that I could never get a job or there aren’t any job opportunities in this career unless I wanted to become a teacher. This video really helped me a lot and encouraged me to actually apply and enrol in a diploma of languages. And to everyone else who is tossing and turning if they should do it or not, I say if you’re very passionate about languages or anything in a particular area just go for it. And if it doesn’t work out then at least in future you can try again it’s never too late to start again whether you’re 18 or 40 years old it doesn’t matter. Consistency is key. And to anyone who would read this far congrats, I appreciate it. I hope you all have a nice day. O(∩_∩)O
🏆🏆🏆
Yes! And also knowing different languages is just amazing and so fun. It’s great to know many different languages for many different reasons
Thanks for the video. It was helpful. I love your use of English, the idea of a lexicographer sounds enthralling. I love that. Thank you!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
@Freelanceverse – Adrian Probst Sure😊
Thanks a lot for this video, it is actually really instructive and very clearly structured… Danke dir 🙂
Gerne! 🙂
Simplified and practical!! Great video, dude!
I have just graduated from ELT (English language teaching) and the first option I’ve got is applied linguistics since it relates to other areas such as psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics.
That was extremely insightful! Thank you!
Thank you Marina!
Hello, Adrian. What do you say about people who study dead languages or very rare languages just to collect the data before they completely disappear? And, there’s also the job of a guide, who meets foreign tourists and show them some cultural places. Just to add on your list. ))
Extremely interesting jobs, Julia. Probably not too many job opportunities, but if you manage to get one, it must be very rewarding.
Thank you for the video. Actually I am interested in technical writing.Can you make a video about this profession especially,about the courses.
I’ve only recently found your channel and I love your videos though this might be my favourite one yet! There were SO MANY options in here so THANK YOU! As someone who did a joint honours degree in Computer science and French, I’ve been looking for a way to merge the two subjects and a technical writer sounds perfect and a career that I’ll love. I’m off to do more research on it but thank you
